ABP acura or euro r conversion (poll)



So any opinions on this conversion?

I would eventually work to do the interior, but im a bit iffy i do have the darn acura badge pedals which stink since it be a funny conversion only on the exterior.

along with front oem lip and 06 oem sides.






So help me with some opinions

I think your front lip was installed incorrectly ? (doesnt line-up right with the side skirt)

I think its correct unless it slide down, all the bolts at the bottom are right, or i used zipties to keep it together.

my sides are 06 if you noticed, so i think it wouldnt match up well anyways.

I do see the slight angle hrmms ill have to look at that tomorrow...

IMO, rebadging is too much of a hassle. I would spend that money elsewhere...have you considered purchasing the euroR front lip? It would flow better with the rest of your kit.

mugen grille. might be pricey, but it'll give the car a nice, sporty and more-aggressive look.

i'm not a big fan of rebadging. if you euro-r badge it, then it's the driver's wheel (and airbag), then honda access door sills, then rubbing off the little 'A' emblem on your stereo, etc...that is not for me. doesn't reflect my opinion on those who do go through with it. i mean, if that's your thing, more power to you.

Though I would promote the JDM conversion, I think you need to work on that suspension first.

But I vote JDM conversion FTW!
Looks like you already have the hood trim, might as well slap on the grill.
